*Includes all patients from OPAL Broaden and OPAL Beyond who were randomised at baseline to tofacitinib 5 mg two times per day, 10 mg two times per day or PBO.
†No serious events of HZ were reported in males or females receiving tofacitinib 5 mg or 10 mg two times per day.
‡Moderate HZ (three dermatomes affected).
§One adjudicated OI (multidermatomal HZ, two adjacent dermatomes) occurring in a female patient receiving tofacitinib 5 mg two times per day in OPAL Broaden was reclassified as a ‘Special Interest Infection’ and included in HZ (serious and non-serious).
¶One MACE was reported in a male patient receiving tofacitinib 5 mg two times per day outside the 28-day risk period.
AEs, adverse events; GI, gastrointestinal; HZ, herpes zoster; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events; N, number of patients included in the analysis; n, number of patients with the event (events are counted up to 28 days beyond the last dose or the end of month 3 or month 12); NMSC, non-melanoma skin cancer; OIs, opportunistic infections; PBO, placebo; SAEs, serious adverse events; TB, tuberculosis; TEAEs, treatment-emergent adverse events; VTEs, venous thromboembolic events.
